Amazing.

I wonder why so many people insist on saying "two thousand and eleven" instead of "twenty eleven". I'm assuming it's a hangover from the "noughties" (ugh) when saying "twenty nine" or "twenty-oh-nine" just didn't work.

I know it's technically correct and all, but I mean... that's the equivalent of Prince singing "so tonight I'm gonna party like it's nineteen hundred and ninety nine!". I'm workin' on getting everyone into the whole "twenty" thing but it'll take me a few days to get around to the entire English speaking world.

Double post! Woohoo!

The talk of the whole sexualisation of everything, including Christmas, reminded me of this:

Listening to popular music makes me feel like a grumpy old man (in reality im just a grumpy man).
Band that sparked this thought was Skrillex, hear about him all the time, had never heard the music, was left unimppressed.

Want nothing more than to drink myself comatose tonight. I may do just do that. So if this is the last forum post I ever make, you know what happened.

HE'S IN ME BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIINNNNN.

Well alcohol was not available so my plans failed. Le sigh.

And HOLY SHIT THAT'S A HUGE SPIDER. Well done sending straight to hell, quite literally.

Are there a lot of spiders in Chile? I genuinely have no idea.

It's spider heaven down here. Snake heaven too I guess. And having grown up with spiders everywhere I find them pretty cool creatures to observe.

I'll just darken the mood briefly with some seriousness, so bear with me.

49 years ago today, a day which became known in the White House as "Black Saturday"...THIS came very, very, very dangerously close to happening:

That day, off the coast of Cuba - the US Navy detected, surrounded and dropped a series of practice depth charges on the Soviet submarine B-59, trying to force it to the surface...unaware that it was armed with a nuclear-tipped torpedo, that it had been authorised to fire at the enemy if its hull were damaged. While the US pressed the advantage, the senior officers of the sub were in an angry argument about whether or not to release.

Meanwhile, a U-2 reconnaissance plane accidentally breached Soviet Far East airspace for over an hour. MiGs were launched, and the USAF countered with nuclear-armed F-102s over the Bering Sea.
Strategic Air Command had been at DEFCON-2 (one step away from imminent commitment) for four days by this time.

Mr. President, we and you ought not now to pull on the ends of the rope in which you have tied the knot of war, because the more the two of us pull, the tighter that knot will be tied. And a moment may come when that knot will be tied so tight that even he who tied it will not have the strength to untie it, and then it will be necessary to cut that knot, and what that would mean is not for me to explain to you, because you yourself understand perfectly of what terrible forces our countries dispose.

Consequently, if there is no intention to tighten that knot and thereby to doom the world to the catastrophe of thermonuclear war, then let us not only relax the forces pulling on the ends of the rope, let us take measures to untie that knot. We are ready for this.

A letter to JFK.

And so it eased. The rest is etc. etc.
Sleep well, good people.

Every day is a bonus.

Being ill sucks balls.
Am going to try alfredo with garlic tofu tonight, as I'm getting sick of tuna.
My laundry isn't going to do itself, though that would be cool.
My sister got a Greyhound to go with her Dalmatian.
Saw a traffic accident on the way home; guy was struck literally in the middle of an intersection (a motorcyclist - his bike had been moved to a street corner), and police and paramedics were attending; a lot of people were looking with concern, but a few looked like they were there to see blood.
Decided sour jelly lollies were as good a present as any for a 21 year old.

dont get me wrong, i love to observe shit and whatnot, but these suckers will attack you for the sheer fuck of it, absolutely unprovoked, so unless you really want to get bitten (im talking necrosis in matters of hours and death ) you gotta be the bigger sucker, and set them on fire, or just step on them like regular people

Damn, that's a badass spider!

No argument here. I had to kill a red back a couple of weeks ago because it was crawling towards my finger as I was carrying a box it had decided was its new home. It was the spider or me and I won.

Luckily we don't get funnel web spiders - they're our really aggressive spiders, a bit like your pal there. In the top 3 in the world for venom and I'm very glad they stay 3 hours up the road in Sydney!

Huntsmen on the other hand are great house spiders. They look awesome and eat all those pesky bugs. Oh and they make people scream which is always fun!

Goddamn, you guys get all the cool stuff don't you. :p We don't have spiders, but we have hipsters... Which is sort of the same
